It was reported that the stent failed to fully expand, and the stent was difficult to see under fluoroscopy.A 6x100, 130 cm eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system was selected for use in a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting procedure in the superficial femoral artery (sfa).During the procedure, the stent did not deploy well because the stent strut was hard to see under fluoroscopy.The procedure was completed with a different device.No patient complications were reported.
